Emerald X20 Amplified Demo Video - It's awesome!

Groberts · #1 08-27-2023, 12:22 PM

I am really enjoying my Emerald X20. It sounds magical through a Fishman Loudbox Artist with a line-out feeding my Bose L1 Pro 8 on the other side of the room. I wanted to make a recording to capture what I was hearing. I am using a Diamond Memory Lane Jr delay with modulation added. Also a little bit of added reverb from a Neunaber Seraphim Shimmer reverb pedal.

I was noodling around on my own little alternative version of John Mayer's "Slow Dancing in Burning Room" and recorded this little jam with my looper holding down the rhythm. (Boss RC500 Looper). Recorded using a Zoom Q8N video recorder with its attached X/Y condenser mics.

I can optimize some frequencies but I am loving this guitar!

Sounds Wonderful, Gary, and it looks and sounds like your Emerald X20 is a long-term companion!

Sounds fantastic Gary!! My X20 sounds great thru my Fishman Mini Amp. I love the Ghost + KK. Blending them gives the perfect balance of cut and warmth.

Outstanding, Gary! Both the sound of the guitar/amplification and your playing. Glad to see the X20 is working out so well for you. When I got my X20, I remember thinking, "Why didn't I know about this sooner??"

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement Captain Jim. I feel like I'm a little late to the Emerald party but sure glad I found out. I can't stop playing this guitar. It is so superbly crafted, comfortable, musical and inspiring.

"Why didn't I get know about Emerald or get one sooner?" Ha!! I can relate.

That sounds wonderful and great, what a touch and phrasing!

I got the Hyvibe, now I wish it was ghost piezo + K&K

Wow, What a nice compliment. I am absolutely LOVING this guitar. I can't put it down. It is so resonant, musical and comfortable to play.
